I've been running PL IONS MC w/AKA CC and they feel almost too stiff for such a light buggy w/very little sidewall. I put the open cell that come w/the Panther super soft tires w/o glue and they feel great in my hand..

Me. Still on open cell.
My local track is a tight hard packed dirt track. I've used AKA closed cells, and I find them a tad too stiff.

some dont like the battery lay out but its saddle so with todays lipos thats no issue.
Some parts are weak read back through the forum.
I have not been able to track mine yet just have it running and tested the new 7.5 motor in the shop.
It drifts awesome on the concrete
